Many thanks, Tom, for that link. It describes Logitech keyboards from K230 up, but mine (quite new) is a K220. The page also states: "The reprog(rammable) keys feature is currently not fully supported by Solaar. You are able to read this feature using solaar-cli, but it is not possible to assign different keys." So we're SOOL regarding remapping there. > There appears to be a package already in Debian and also a separate > repo available from their website. > > Almost all keyboards purchased in oz should be in standard US keyboard > layout, usually 104/105 keys.

That's what I thought, but wouldn't be adamant in the case of a compact wireless keyboard, even one from just up the road. And it seemed to work fine for many months on Debian 9, prior to my switch to Devuan. (Can't promise that I used all keys then, as it was then only my faster net browsing machine.) Trying the "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" again, remembering that the RF dongle is sitting in a USB socket, I've tried the "pc/qwerty/US American/Standard/Standard" option under "Select keymap from full list", but there's no change. Well, that does appear to confirm that "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" does nothing in the circumstance I'm enquiring about. If it is the case that in XFCE, key mapping is done "in the DE", then the question is reduced to "How?.
